Subject: [Wikidata] Improvements on the search results
To: "Discussion list for the Wikidata project." <
[email protected]>


Hello all,

Some improvements have been made by the Search team at WMF on Special:Search
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Search> (the page that is loaded
when you type something in the search field and press enter, for example).

   - The string that you typed is highlighted in bold in the label of the
   results
   - The number of bytes is no longer displayed, instead you can see the
   number of sitelinks and statements
   - The code is now using the same indexing as completion search, which
   should improve relevancy and better control over ranking

If you have any question or find a bug, feel free to ping user:Smalyshev
(WMF) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Smalyshev_(WMF)>.
Cheers,
